The iMac "Core 2 Duo" 1.83 17-Inch (IG) is quite a bit different than the other "Core 2 Duo" models, as it most notably uses cheaper and slower Intel GMA 950 "integrated graphics". The only substantial differences between the education-only iMac "Core Duo" model and this one is that the "Core 2 Duo" model has a "Core 2 Duo" processor and a 160 GB hard drive instead of a 80 GB drive.

Connectivity includes three USB 2.0 ports, two Firewire "400" ports, built-in AirPort Extreme, and Gigabit Ethernet, as well as mini-DVI, which supports an external display in "extended desktop" mode (rather than just "mirrored mode").
